Have you been having consensual sex??

October 30th: BOYS WEEK

Our members brought some men to the meeting, although men are always welcomed, we extended a special invitation! We discussed Halloween costumes, sexism, general discrimination, "the friendzone," and girls/boys platonic friendships.

The first video below was not shown in meeting; it engages in a discussion of the "man box."

October 23rd: International Women & Conflict We hosted Cheryl O'Brien, who was a new addition to SDSU's Political Science faculty.

In the Spring, Professor O'Brien taught Global Systems (ISCOR 300), with a focus on women's rights and movements. She will be touching on the gendered aspects of refugee camps, war zones, etc., in places like the Congo, Darfur, Bosnia, etc. See the PowerPoint below.

October 16th: PrivilegeWe will be talking about privilege in terms of the following categories: race, gender, age, wealth/class, sexuality, ableism, and appearance. We will be discussing how it helps and hurts people, as well as the importance of awareness.

Male privilege is “I have a boyfriend” being the only thing that can actually stop someone from hitting on you because they respect another male-bodied person more than they respect your rejection/lack of interest.

October 9th:Women & PoliticsProfessor Schreiberran the discussion! She is a Political Science professor at SDSU (click on her name for more information!).

October 2nd:We discussed social, profession, and sexual stereotypes in reference to the roles each gender is required to enact. See picture below!

September 25th:WOMEN IN MEDIA

Here are three videos we did not be watching at meeting, but you are welcome to explore!Killing Us Softly: this video is by Jean Kilbourne, who discusses expectations and standards created by advertising, objectification of women, and how this relates to violence against. women.How Women Are Portrayed in Hip Hop Videos: this video hosts a panel of industry insiders who discuss African American women and hip hop.

Damsel in Distress:a Feminist Frequency video about women and video games. It is the first video in a series examining the tropes of female representation in video games. This one in particular focuses on how in most games the protagonist females inadvertently become individuals in need of saving rather than the heroes of their own game.
